The importance of sport and physical activity
It is known as sport and/or physical activity to any activity that you do that helps maintain or improve your physical condition as well as your general health.
These activities are understood from walking, jogging, practicing some kind of sport, going to gyms, riding a bicycle, etc.
It is important to implement these practices, since they can help improve our social life and our health, since it reduces the risks of suffering from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, it helps improve stress novels, depression and anxiety. It is scientifically proven that physical activity causes the body to generate chemical substances that can help us feel better, can help some people suffering from insomnia problems to recover normality in sleep.
It is relevant to say and/or clarify that these practices are quite beneficial for all including children, youth, adults and the elderly.
There are currently many countries that implement policies and laws that promote and insist on the importance of implementing these habits in our daily lives helping to be more people who can enjoy the benefits that the physical activity brings in which the strategy stands outWorld Regime, Physical Health and Health that is promoted by the World Health Organization, which seeks to promote and protect health by guiding the creation of a favorable environment for the adoption of sustainable measures at the individual, community, national and world level.
In spite of that, I believe that in our country there are more support and measures that favor athletes and people who wishdiseases derived from the lack of physical activity.
As indicated in the article of the Argentine Nutrition Laura Laura Romano: “Physical activity is indispensable to maintain an optimal state of health, it is the most economical, effective and within our reach;In addition, it helps us prevent many diseases at all stages of life. Its benefits are also social because it improves autonomy and encourages integration;as well as psychological, since stress, anxiety and depression decreases."1
It also points out that: “It contributes to the integral development of the person. It contributes to maintaining healthy weight, reducing the risk of obesity. Produces greater mineralization of bones and decreased risk of osteoporosis in adult life. Improves the ripening of the engine nervous system and increases motor skills. Improve school performance. Improves sociability and reinforces self – esteem, especially when team sports are performed."two
Let’s review with more detail the opinions that are made according to the results of the practice, since many times many issues are addressed only from the theory, here we will see an interesting opinion of a kinesiology student:
Exercise improves physical and emotional state
Itzel Anda, SDSU Kinesiology student has been exercising in the ARC for three years, and ensures that this helps her to feel better.
"Exercise helps me balance my stress," said Anda. “For me, exercising makes me a healthier person mentally and I feel that I can make better decisions and bring a better life cycle. It also makes me feel lighter ".
Other reasons why he exercises is because he likes to stay fit and because he cares about his health by preventing diseases such as diabetes.
To take care of your body it also means taking care of your diet, although being thin complexion, she said she doesn’t have to carry a very rigorous diet.
"In my case, because I am a thin person I do not have to have a very strict diet, however, for situations that I spend my home, I cannot wear a balanced diet," said Anda. If I look at not eating in excess, but there is nothing wrong with eating a pizza or a hamburger once a week because I am not eating it seven days a week, ”.3
In my main opinion and as a conclusion I think that this is an issue that depends on each one of us, it is something that if each person began to meditate and draw conclusion from their multiple benefits would take advantage of it and make the most of it.
It is a habit that many people due to ignorance or omission do not practice it and that may be the remedy for many causes such as those indicated in this essay.
